8gb RAM installation in 32bits system just for testing the mem sticks

ChrisCamm · Feb 9, 2017

Hello again, I'm already aware of the limitation of the windows 7 32 bit version of being unaware of Ram above 4gb, but I bought two new sticks and i'd like to make a quick test before I wipe out my entire harddrive to install 64 bits version.

Thanks Again

Why don't you download Memtest86 and install it on a cd or usb stick. Then you can boot from that device and test the RAM. You won't be booting from the 32 bit OS, so all of the RAM should be visible and be able to be tested.

I will try, thanks, but still without memtest86 may I be able to boot Windows normally?

Put them in and boot it up. If the memory is compatible with your motherboard/cpu windows will boot and you will see total memory installed, not that you can use it.

I just wanted to make a quick test, then install windows 7. After that I may make a full test. Many thanks
